Experimental infection of male volunteers with Neisseria gonorrhoeae is safe and reproduces the clinical features of naturally acquired gonococcal urethritis. Human inoculation studies have helped define the natural history of experimental infection with two well-characterized strains of N. gonorrhoeae, FA1090 and MS11mkC. The human model has proved useful for testing the importance of putative...

Luys (1921) stated that blennorragie buccale in newborn babies occurred with relative frequency, together with gonococcal ophthalmia, and that both could cause pronounced symptoms. He stated further that blennorragie buccale also occurred in adults, but less frequentlv than rectal gonorrhoea. Janet (1929) stated that he had observed three case...

Of 11 young women with acute peritonitis proved by laparoscopy, seven of whom also had perihepatitis, nine had serological evidence of recent infection with Chlamydia trachomatis; In five of these nine patients high antibody titres to chlamydiae were found without laboratory evidence of gonococcal infection, while the other four had evidence of simultaneous gonococcal infection. C trachomatis m...
